Trying to trouble-shoot the existing malware and operating system issues is quite enough by itself, this doesn't need to be confused with known or unidentified bugs in a beta version.
Second, I have absolutely nothing to do with development or fixing bugs, so my comments have nothing to do with that and never stated anything of the sort, so if you're looking for something to use as an excuse to stop helping with the beta that's your own decision, not one that I or anyone else here is involved in.
As for the bug(s) you have been reporting, if the Spybot devlopment and testing team are unable to reproduce the bug or consider it a known limitation of the product, this is exactly the response I would expect. The difficulty I'm having getting you to understand the reasons for our responses to the OP in this thread indicate to me that you have difficulty communicating via writing, so I'm guessing you may be missing something within the response to your bug report that explains their reasoning. In any case, this thread is not the appropriate place for this discussion of your own issues since it only confuses the separate response to Donald Thomson, which is a clear issue of mis-application of the beta.
If you already have a thread here discussing your issue, then reference that and exit this thread for that discussion. If not and you wish to understand the answer to your bug report better, then begin a separate thread to do that, since mixing responses to different issues appears to be a large part of your confusion.
